Tennis: Alcaraz fortsatt skadet – må droppe Masters-turnering

Verdenstoer Carlos Alcaraz er fortsatt ikke friskmeldt fra håndleddsskaden han pådro seg i april, og har meldt avbud til ATP Masters 1000-turneringen i Cincinnati.
Turneringen i den amerikanske delstaten Ohio, der den spanske 23-åringen vant i fjor, starter 13. august.
– Vi vet at Carlos gjør alt han kan for å komme tilbake til turneringsspill så snart som mulig. Vi ønsker ham alt godt med rehabiliteringen og ser fram til å ønske ham velkommen tilbake til Cincinnati i fremtiden, sier turneringsdirektør Bob Moran.
Alcaraz er også tittelforsvarer i US Open, årets siste Grand Slam-turnering, som starter 30. august i New York. Skadeforfallet som ble kjent tirsdag, sår også tvil om Alcaraz kan stille der.
Den sjudobbelte Grand Slam-vinneren har allerede trukket seg fra blant annet Roland-Garros i Paris og Wimbledon i London i år etter skaden som han pådro seg i første runde av Barcelona Open i april.

Sanders, Watson to Each Start Preseason Game

Coach Todd Monken revealed that Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson will each start one preseason game. The next week will determine who starts on August 15 at Chicago and who starts the August 22 home game against the Bills, with the likely starter for the final preseason game on August 27 against the Patriots being the leader by then.

Watson has played only 19 games since joining Cleveland in 2022 and hasn't played since October 2024 due to two Achilles tears. Sanders earned Pro Bowl honors as a rookie despite starting only seven games, completing 56.6% of his passes for 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
